[#1]

Hello,

When I try to open the Frame Generator Feature in Autodesk Inventor 2013, the dialog box does not appear and I am unable to create or edit frame members. This was not an issue in the 2012 version that I had installed. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is? Thanks!

Tyler,

I'm not up to 2013 yet, but in 2012 the shapes are edited and created in the sketch environment then enabled for FG use via the Structural Shapes tool, right?

If you're saying the dialoge box is offscreen then this post has some good suggestions...

Hope this helps,

Hello, 

Thank you for your response. I dont think it is a problem on the dialog box appearing off screen. I tried several tricks and I just do not think to dialoge box is showing up at all. Any more suggestions? Thanks.

Open the Tutorial Files > analyze_frame.iam

Right click Edit the Frame0001

Right click Edit with Frame Generator the  first frame member.

What happens?

JDMather:

Thank you for your response. I tried what you said and have the same issue. Attached is a screenshot of my problem. as you can see there is no dialoge box in sight. Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks

Your screen capture would have been a little more informative if you and first clicked on the Design tab.

Sure looks like you are in Frame Generator edit mode but the dialog box is somewhere off-screen.
Are you or have you ever used dual monitors with this box?

I answer the easy questions if I think I know the answer.

About the only things I know are - "Sketch1 isn't constrained" and "an iam without ipt files is useless". 

If you stay here a while you will see that I have copied those two responses here around 19,000 times.
